Stated they were AAC collecting a Kay's Jewler debt from 10 years ago. I asked them to send me a letter of legitimacy. She sent one to my email and she is supposed to send it to my address. I looked at the one in my email and it says it's from Parkwood Financial in Georgetown TX? Looked up the address on Google and it was the address for a food store. Looked up the business and can't find it.

Based on info from this board I cannot say this is spam since AAC is a legitimate company. Anyway--Calling my office desk phone (which I do not appreciate) to verify location info on a person with a name that I have no idea who it is. Gave me a case number etc.... I wont call back as I cant help them with anything.
